Առաջին համաշխարհային պատերազմի հերոսների հուշարձան, World War I memorial monument in Lipetsk, Russia.
The monument is a triangular stele rising 17.5 meters high and topped with a bronze double-headed eagle. Its surfaces are decorated with St. George's crosses that emphasize its military significance.
The monument was unveiled on August 8, 2014, marking the centenary of World War I. It became the third such memorial built in Russia during that period.
The memorial honors Russian soldiers and officers who served in World War I and was created by People's Artist Alexander Rukavishnikov. It stands as a gathering place where visitors come to reflect on the sacrifices made during that conflict.
The monument stands at the intersection of Tereshkova and Tsiolkovsky streets, accessible through a specially constructed circular road junction. The location is easy to reach on foot and offers good views from multiple angles.
The three-sided structure of the monument mirrors the cross-section of a bayonet, incorporating military symbolism into its design. This subtle geometric reference connects the physical form directly to the warfare history it commemorates.
